Remembering Mark
February 12, 1964 - June 8, 2025
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The Mark Erwin Dillingham Memorial Foundation. The Foundation honors Mark’s life by supporting the community he loved—from his passion for Special Olympics Bocce, to his role as manager of the York High School Boys Cross Country Team, to the cherished moments he shared with friends at Bethshan. Your generosity will help ensure others have the same opportunities to experience the joy, connection, and fulfillment that meant so much to Mark.

The Mark Erwin Dillingham Memorial Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the state of Illinois. Please contact info@tight-ship.com for further information. You will receive a e-receipt upon completing your donation below.

Supporting and engaging the Bethshan Community
The Junior Board of Bethshan was organized on the heels of the 2020 pandemic as a conduit linking the greater community and the community of Bethshan. When it was clear that residents would remain on lockdown through the Christmas holidays, a band of high school students came together to bring personalized “Santa Gifts” to residents and from there, the Junior Board was born. By creating meaningful connections between residents and our board members, we increase our human perspective and foster a larger network of encouragement, support and well being.
Our mission is to create personal lines of communication and fundraise for the Bethshan community as well as support the individual resident through 1:1 relationships. Board members each have their own Bethshan Penpal and participate in our Holiday Gift Drive and our spring fundraising drive.
